RocketBoat Yelp Reviews

Michelle C. from Belmont, CA said:

"Rocket Boat!!!! I love you! So much fun, everything I had hoped it would be. It wasn't scary like I had imagined, but more fun. It feels like you are flying over the water, not all bumpy like the bigger slower boats. The music got us pumped, put our thumbs in the air (meant go faster). This is a whole different way to see the San Francisco Bay, just amazing. I would go on this tour again and I just might soon. Yes I wish the ride was longer, but who doesn't? Rocket Boat Forever!!!!!"

"Want to see grown men giggle like a school girl? Go on Rocketboat.

If the high speeds and wind aren't enough to get the juices flowing then the rock music will. During my Sunday morning 11:30 ride, the boat wasn't full and hardly any children, (not the best idea if you are nursing a hangover). I would recommend Rocketboat to anyone visiting or local. The views of the city are amazing and aren't the same that you would get from another boat/ ferry tour. If you want to avoid getting soaked, sit in the seats where you buckle up and watch your friends get splashed."

Lynette T. from Monterey Park, CA said:

"We slowly eased out of the dock area......the engines revved, "Barracuda" blasted on the speakers....lightspeed! Woo hoo! Seriously....

WOO HOO!

We zipped this way, that way, 360ed several times. I'm not going to spoil the sights for those who have yet to try this. The temptation to scream "Suckaaaas!" at the waving passengers of the slow-moving boring ferry boats was overwhelming.

I didn't want to get off the boat. It was that much FUN!

Money well spent!"
